Business

What does it mean to undertake business in the 21st century? As always, it means acting, with others and for others, in the attempt to respond to old and new human needs. Today this is done in very different forms: family businesses, profit-oriented businesses; public enterprises and public-private partnerships; mutual and social enterprises. But the most prominent feature of the current business environment is probably the presence of giant companies, which concentrate economic and technical power, often by transnational operations. At all levels, we need to understand in order to act, in view of making each firm a common space of freedom and responsibility, for the good of each and every one.
